WHY WE HAVE VERTIGO.
A Dan erOus and Sudden ID .ease to Which
We Are All Liable.

We Are All Liable.
Vertigo is from a Latin word that
means 10 turn. 1t denotes an aiIment
charac erized by a sudden feeling OF
dizziness and at times by actual falling
Sometimes surrounding objects seem to
the person attacked 10 whirl round,
or the floor or ground to rise up.
The fact that vertigo is often one Of
the earlier symptoms OF apoplexy fire.
quently fills the person wi h terror
lest tina. deadly disease may be impend-
ing. But ia the majority OF cases it has
nosuch Significance, not even as iHdicat-
ing tendency.
To most persons, standing or walking
seems very simple thing. On the con-
trary, it Is very complicated one, and
requires the concurrent action Of diff
ferent nervous centres. A disturbance
of their harmonious CO. operation at once
throws us off our balance, producing the
sensations above indicated.
One form OF vertigo-a very persistent
form-is due to irritation OF certain
nerves within the inmost chamber Of the
ear, the so-called labyrinth. This was
what Dean Swift suffered from so long,
and, to the physicians of his day, 80 un-
accOuntably. One OF its symptoms is
temporary deafness. This distinguishes
1t ilo.n all other forms.
Another form connects itself mainly
MIlii the eye. OF this kind is the feeling
OF giddiness, which some people have
when, being on a train at rest, another
train slowly passing deceives them into
the idea that it is their own train which
has begun to move. The giddiness oc-
ours at the moment when the false and
true sensations become confused to-
gether.
In the case OF the near-sighted, the
internal muscles of the eye often being
unduly strained in their effort to con-
verge the eye sufficiently for the sight OF
near objects, suddenly give way, when
the eyeballs turn out and the letters run
into each other. This is accompanied
by feeling OF giddiness. eyeache, head
ache and sometimes nausea.
third form connects itself with some
slight disorder OF the stomach, and oc-
ours most often when the stomach is
empty. There is a sudden swimming in
the head, objects seem to reyOlve, and
the person iotters and perhaps falls.
The fourth form is purely of nervous
origin, and Is due to nervous exhaustion.
1t may be caused by intellectual over
strain, long continued anxiety, physical
excuses. or the immoderate use Of to-
bacco, alcohol. or tea Elevated posi-
tons may bring on an attack. It rare
~ results in actual falling. but Oftener
In the feeling OF being about to fall.

The Middle Woman.

The wife OF an acquaintance in San
Francisco who read the papers became
imbued with the idea that it was wrong
to patronize Chinese labor when poor
white women were suffering for the
chance to earn their daily bread, and ex-
pressed her views to her husband, say
ing she knew a poor woman next door
who would be glad to do their washing
at 81 per week-they were paying the
Chinaman $3.50.
1t was an advance, but white labor
must BIO encouraged SO the washing
was handed over 10 Mrs Murphy.
The husband met All Sam few
months after and, feeling little qualm
Of conscience and interest in him, il
quired how he was getting along. Sam
seemed 10 be in cheerful state Of mind,
and answered;
= Fuss rate; plenty wash business.
All samee me do your washee. all
samee me catchee close Miss Murphy
house. She pay me one dollar hap
week.
1t turned out that Mrs. Murphy had
been giving out the washing to Sam aud
paying him $50 Q week. ami making q
profit of the other Sl.5O.
Sam was restored, and that is about
the way the thing goes.-IN. Y. Times.

The Great Problem of Origins.

We should fully understand the re-
sponsibility which we incur when, in
these times OF full-grown science, We
venture 10 deal with the great problem
of origins, and should be prepared to
find that in this field the new philosophy.
like those which have preceded 1t, may
meet with very imperfect success.
The agitation Of these subjects has
already brought science into close rela-
tions, sometimes friendly, sometimes
hostile, it is to be hoped in the end help
full, with those great and awful questions
OF the ultimate destiny OF humanity,
and its relations to its Creator, which
must always be nearer TO the human
heart than any OF the achievements OF
science on its own ground.
In entering on such questions We
should proceed with caution and rever-
ence, feeling that we are on holy ground.
and that though like Moses of old, We
may be armed with all the learning Of
our time, We are In the presence Of that
which while 1t burns is not consumed
OF a mystery which neither observation,
experiment, nor induction can ever solve.

Hunboldt's Maniac.

The case of the late mad King Louis
of Bavaria revived the very old Ques-
ton as to where reason ends and mad
ness begins. Apropos Of the discussion,
a French paper tells story.
During one of his visits to Paris,
Baron Won Humboldt expressed to his
friend, DR.. Blanche, the distinguished
authority in matters concerning inSan-
ity, desire to meet one of his patients.
{" Nothing easier" said DIR. Blanche.
Come and take dinner with me to.
morrow"
Next day Humboldt found himself
seated at the dinner-table Of the famous
alienist, in company with two unknown
guests. One Of them, who was dressed
in black, with white cravat, gold-bowed
spectacles. and who had a smooth face
and very bald head. sat with great grav-
ity through the entire dinner.
He was evidently gentleman of IN
DOUBTED manners, but. very tacituru.
He bowed. ate, and said not word.
The other guest, on the contrary, wore
q great shock OF hair brushed wildly
into the air; his shabby blue coat was
buttoned askew, his collar was rumpled,
and the ends of his crazy necktie float
ed over his shoulders. He helped Him

Story upon story did this incoherent
person pile up. He mixed the past
with the present. flew from Swedenborg
to Fourier, from Cleopatra to Jenny
Lind, from Archimedes to Lamarline,
and talked politics and literature in the
same breath.
At the dessert Humboldt leaned over
and whispered in his hosts ear, glanc-
ing at the same time at the fantastic
parsonage. whose discourse was still
running on:
/" am very much obliged TO you.
Your maniac has greatly amused me-"
+" My maniac J" said the doctor, start

Enough OF Romance.
, the Pittsburgh Dispatch,

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
Social circles in Reading are stirred
up over the clandestine marriage oi
Miss Margaret Davis, the daughter OF
one OF Readings wealthy citizens to
Adam Leas, one OF her fathers labor
ers, the capture and detention OF the
bride by tho irate father, and the
young husbands suit at law to. re-
cover his wife. The adventures OF the
couple form very romantic and SEN
sational episode and are evidence
that a marriage license law is not an
insuperable obstacle to getting mar
ried ii the parties are bound to put
on the matrimonial harness.
Leas set forth in his petition to
court that his wife was unlawfully de-
tanned by her father. He came into
court expecting to be triumphantly
awarded the custody OF his bride. In
this he was mistaken. The pretty
Quaker girl came into court crying,
accompanied by her father and moth
er.
Mr.. Davis presented to the court
his own affidavit that he had not re-
strained his daughter of her liberty.
She was then questioned and answer
ed in a subdued tone OF voice.
"Do you wish to live with him? was
asked.
"No, sir" was her earnest reply, and
to no one did it produce a more start
ling effect than the man who became
her husband week ago. He almost
sprang from his chair. Every one was
astonished. when all knew that only a
week ago this Quaker maiden. alter a
clandestine courtship. had eloped with
him 10 New York and got married.
Judge Hagerman asked her:
"Do you desire to 60 with your hus-
ban1?"
mo, sir" she replied, most emphat-
ically.
"Then you want to remain with
your father?"
"Yes, SIR"
"That will do" remarked Judge
Hagerman, and he dismissed the case.
Young Leas walked out of the court
room depressed in spirits and almost
heartbroken. The girls father and
mother conducted her home, while she
sobbed and shed tears. Leas handed
her small satchel, which they had
jointly used while on their wedding
trip, before she left the court room.
She took it without saying a word.
Why she changed her mind SO sudden.

The Secret of Longevity.
From the American Magazine.

FROM Tue american MdRdZlue
A little way beyond the ancient
church at Holderness is a brick resi-.
dence, whose front is half hidden by
one of those monster elms that are
the pride of our northern states, and
beneath it's shade saw an old man
who is passing his ninety-fith year,
sitting comfortably in a great arm
chair. My wife told me that his aunt
recently died, age one hundred and
five; and curious to know if there was
any especial reason for such longevity,
I made inquiries. "No," said my in
formant; "onlv they were almost al
ways out-of-doors and lived a quiet
life,''
Yet in that single sentence lay a
greater philosophy than he dreamed
of, sounder precept than he knew.
To keep out-of-doors and avoid worry
is a maxim that, if followed, would
close majority of our hospitals,
which, I regret to say, have a greater
number of occupants with each sue
ceeding year.
